ARTHUR:
We have ridden the length and breadth of the land in search of knights who will join me in my court at Camelot.
I must speak with your lord and master.
SOLDIER #1:
What? Ridden on a horse?
ARTHUR:
Yes!
SOLDIER #1:
You're using coconuts!
ARTHUR:
What?
SOLDIER #1:
You've got two empty halves of coconut and you're bangin' 'em together.
ARTHUR:
So? We have ridden since the snows of winter covered this land, through the kingdom of Mercia, through--
SOLDIER #1:
Where'd you get the coconuts?
ARTHUR:
We found them.
SOLDIER #1:
Found them? In Mercia? The coconut's tropical!
ARTHUR:
What do you mean?
SOLDIER #1:
Well, this is a temperate zone.
ARTHUR:
The swallow may fly south with the sun or the house martin or the plover may seek warmer climes in winter, yet these are not strangers to our land?
SOLDIER #1:
Are you suggesting coconuts migrate?
ARTHUR:
Not at all. They could be carried.
SOLDIER #1:
What? A swallow carrying a coconut?
ARTHUR:
It could grip it by the husk!
SOLDIER #1:
It's not a question of where he grips it! It's a simple question of weight ratios! A five ounce bird could not carry a one pound coconut.
ARTHUR:
Well, it doesn't matter. Will you go and tell your master that Arthur from the Court of Camelot is here?
George, have you got those MP lines by heart?

Someone wake up Ellpus. He's missed a perfectly good opportunity to discuss his "danglies." (He needs a good,
swift kick in the pants!)
Down the road a piece, a farmer's widow died and the children sold the family farm to a developer. The corn field have been allowed to lie fallow with weeds and the swifts are having a wonderful time now that the monoculture is no more.
I'm having a wonderful time watching the swifts.
What about my damn questions!
What damned questions would those be, Constipated Coney?

2. Why are swifts falling out of nests all over A2k?
3. WHAT is with all the damn crime shows littering the TV of late? They are breeding like...well...rabbits.
I say we turn to crime shows when the world appears full of chaos and uncertainty.
If we caught Bin Laden, would we go back to a normal TV variety?
Sigh.
I am hurt AGAIN, you know, Setanta. I am not made of iron.....schniffle....
You are made out of chocolate?
(Psssst! That's a damn iron door stop!)
we have iron doors at A2K?
is that why my biceps are so big and strong?
Dunno - show me. (Your biceps, I mean.)
hey - the doors ARE iron!
I never noticed them before - I always use the postern.
oy! what kind of question is that?
